Best Mexican food i EVER had, service was amazing. Everyone was very alert and helpful which is lacking in most industry. I had a great hibiscus water (Mexican Kool-aid ) I enjoyed the mixed fajitas, so full im just layer in the parking lot. I will be back soon. I will never Forget about Fogatas

First impression: A little low-rent. A/C wasn’t keeping up and servers were too busy to greet. But that quickly all turned positive with a friendly waitress and absolutely delicious fajitas and juice drinks. Then the live music started and it was all amazing! We’ll be back, but casual clothes are in order.

First time here, the service was great. The food was so delicious. The rice was some of the best Mexican rice I've ever tasted and the taco shell was different from any I've ever tasted but it was delicious as well. Cons are: they dont sell liquor and they only sell sodas in the bottle which cost $3.25 so no free refills.

Editing this review to add: It kills me to see poor reviews for this restaurant because they make almost everything from scratch, and I’ve never had a bad meal or experience in the numerous times I’ve been. So, let me give some tips… -If you’re looking for Tex-Mex then this isn’t the place for you. -If you’re looking for bottomless margaritas that come from a mix then this isn’t the place for you. -If you’re looking for cheap fast food then this isn’t the place for you. Again, they pride themselves on homemade authentic Mexican food. If that’s what you want, give them a try. If not, there are plenty of other restaurants to choose from in Nash. But remember, if you decide to go, you GOTTA try the al pastor taco on a homemade corn tortilla! We’ve been here a handful of times and have always had an amazing experience! Highly recommend the al pastor tacos on homemade corn tortillas. The lamb barbacoa & stew (weekends only) is the best lamb I’ve ever eaten in my life, and I normally don’t even like lamb. They have fresh juices and horchata which are always delicious! There can occasionally be a slight language barrier, but it’s a great opportunity to practice your Spanish! We’ve tried other authentic Mexican restaurants, but always end up coming back to Fogata’s because it never disappoints. Thanks, Fogata’s!!

Absolutely delicious and service was fast and friendly! Fresh, homemade corn tortillas were amazing, and the super hot salsa drizzled into the table salsa took it over the top. Chile relleno was as good as I make at home, with ranchero sauce liberally poured atop. The taco and enchilada plate was so good I may do that next time. Btw, those beans and rice were yummy. Go. Most folks spoke Spanish who were eating here, a sure sign for excellent Mexican food.

Chicken and Shrimp Fajitas were very good. Shrimp Huarache was good. But the Meat in Carna Asada was very hard and got overcooked. It was unpleasant. But overall, a good Mexican restaurant around Nolensville which can be better.
